A question I have explored for years, personally and professionally, is this: do feelings come from thoughts or do thoughts come from feelings? Or does it work both ways, with thoughts and feelings both prompting a response from the other?

An online friend wrote and put forth the widely upheld argument that thoughts come from feelings. He said, “You (may) … feel an intense surge of depression or you (might) begin to laugh – these states are not caused by thinking they are emotional communications that override any thoughts.”

For a long time I shared a similar logic. I agreed with such evidence as my friend presented when he said, “You see a spider/snake/lion and you feel fear – instantly – there is no thinking about it.”

That sort of logic made sense to me for a long time.

In more recent years, however, my thinking has shifted. As a result of experimenting with the idea that feelings cause our thoughts, I have concluded the opposite; it is thoughts that determine our feelings.

In John 1:1 we read, “In the beginning was the Word.” What is a word, if not spoken thought? In the beginning there is thought, which is the mental energy that generates an electromagnetic energy field that makes all manifestation possible. In other words, thought creates the energetic pattern, or basic structure that brings the thought into form. Thought comes first.

Here’s how it works:

We adopt a set of beliefs from the thoughts we think. These beliefs coalesce into a story about life (And believe me, we have stories about everything!). For example: we may have a story that spiders/snakes/lions are dangerous. Perhaps that story comes from s program we saw on TV about a lions attack, or perhaps we once saw our dad kill a rattlesnake, or maybe we remember hearing our mother scream when she saw a spider once and, as a result, we have a story in our minds about that particular animal being dangerous. Of course, if, and when we encounter that animal our story about it is triggered in our memory, and we react accordingly. This all happens automatically according to the following formula: Thoughts believed generate feelings that prompt behavior. WE DON’T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. The energetic imprint is already in place!

Actually, we now know that this thought/feeling imprint becomes a neural pathway in the brain! After all, what is a neural pathway, but the process of thinking the same old thoughts, feeling the same old feelings, and reacting in the same old ways, over and over again? This repetition creates a literal “wrinkle” in our brain that becomes our default position: one that can be triggered at any point in the neural loop.

Any outside event, like smelling a particular scent, or seeing something familiar, or the way something feels, can trigger the neural loop and off we go into our deeply embedded “core” pattern of thinking, feeling, and reacting, which produces the same predictable outcome every time. It is an automatic happening.

What’s more, in recent times, Epigenetics has discovered that our genes change according to our thoughts! This implies that our DNA is capable of being changed. Uploaded with new information, our genes re-inform our DNA, and suddenly we are completely changed – from the inside out! This finding also implies that our belief system is contained within our DNA and is passed on to our lineage. So when we clear our beliefs, we change our DNA which, in turn changes future generations.

It has even been conjectured that, because the DNA is timeless … changes in its structure not only affect future generations but also members of our bloodline already born! Clearing our beliefs then becomes the way we “cleanse our bloodline” from destructive beliefs and replace them with more life-giving ones instead.

I believe that the mind is the creator – always. The first by-product of the mind is thought, When the thought becomes a belief, it sets up an emotional energy field that informs our behavior. (Think of the mind as a generator that cranks out emotional energy in the form of feelings.) When we encounter someone/something that triggers one of our stories or beliefs, we automatically feel the feelings that go with that story/belief and we behave accordingly.

The Reality Formula™

The Real­ity For­mula™ is a for­mula that describes what all human minds do. Believing the thoughts we think is what human do. We think a thought and automatically presume that it is true, and then we ‘take the ride’ that believing a stressful thought takes us on.

This is the design of life on our planet, and not a problem at all (except that we make it one) – WHEN we remember that we are made to believe, feel and act what we think into reality. It’s called the process of manifestation.

I’ve been teaching the precepts behind the Reality Formula™ for many years, and have seen, and realized in my own life, the astounding ways it works to birth in us a new consciousness – what, Paul, in the Bible, called the “new man.”

We literally change the way we see the world and everything changes! Neuroscience uses a more scientific term to describe the new consciousness that we build by aligning with the Reality Formula™. They refer to it as building a new neural pathway that overrides our old default neural pathway – those old habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that have held us captive in our own victim thinking for so long.

To know and use the Real­ity For­mula™ in consciousness brings on a process of awak­en­ing. We begin to realize that we do not have to blindly believe the unhappy thoughts we think. The moment we step back and begin to observe, rather than to react to, our life situations, we begin to climb out of the dark hole of vic­tim con­scious­ness and into the light of the witnessing Self. Latest research in quantum physics establishes that nothing exists until it is observed. This realization helps us to remember the immense importance of developing our own Inner Observer.

As soon as we witness, rather than judge negatively, we move into Observer consciousness, the built-in ability that humans have to witness our own thought life, and make different choices as a result. The ability to change based on what we observe is a skill that might be easier to understand when we listen to what research in Neuroscience has demonstrated about how the brain functions.

The Reality Formula™ As It Applies To The Physiology Of The Brain

The latest findings in brain function help us understand the Reality Formula as it takes place physically in the brain. Here’s what happens in the brain when the reality formula is in play:

It all starts in the Neocortex which is the front brain; it is the place where our thinking takes place. We think things through here, we analyze, inquire, rationalize, etc; it’s where we think our thoughts about ourselves and the world around us.

The electrical impulses of the thoughts we believe move from the Neocortex to the mid-brain where the Limbic Brain is located. Here the brain translates those beliefs into a feeling. The belief has now become an e-motion, i.e. energy-in-motion. This helps us to better understand how it is that feelings come primarily from the thoughts we think and believe, and not, as we so often think, from the people and situations outside us.

A thought must have a feeling associated with it that is strong enough to inspire us to act before action will be taken. As soon as we believe a particular thought that calls for action, we are moved to act. The Limbic is the place from where our behavior originates. From here neurotransmitters are sent out to the various systems (and glands) in the body that stimulate and determine the kind of action taken. Our action or behavior, of course, will be an extension of the thoughts we believe. So if we are thinking and believing fear-based thoughts, the neuropeptides created from our emotional response to those beliefs will stimulate the adrenals, causing us to have heightened feelings of fear, paranoia, and resentment, and creates within us a fight or flight state of being.

The Reality Formula™ reminds us that what we think and believe determines our body’s response to life: “When we think a thought (Neocortex) and believe it, we feel and act as if it’s true (Limbic Brain).” When we go through that process enough times, it becomes a habitual mental pattern that we automatically default to over and again.

There’s one more important player in this diagram of the brain as it relates to the Reality Formula™; it’s the Cerebrum where the imprints, thought loops, defense mechanisms, as well as memories of all kinds are stored in actual physical pathways in the brain. These neural pathways are constantly being weakened or strengthened by the amount of usage they get as determined by how often we go into that same old mental loop described above.

This becomes an endless non-productive, life-limiting, addictive rut that most of us have either accepted as hopeless or are fighting constantly to overcome. There is an easier way to peace.

Are you tired of thinking the same old painful thoughts that generate the same old bad feelings and leave us feeling the same old emotions of inadequacy, anxiety, and/or driven by fear of rejection, abandonment, or failure?

Are you ready to replace old mind tapes with new neural pathways for peace?

Are you ready to step out of the old rut of negativity that sucks you down into the swamps of depression onto new roads to higher places? Are you ready to give up your old neural loops with a new mental default for peace?

If so, we have designed a special tool with you in mind!

If you are ready to reframe those old negative mental tapes that you’ve felt at the mercy of, and replace them with a new mind that sees Reality as a friend, rather than resisting life at every step, then NeuroCue’s presentation of Reality Formula™ is for you!

Priced to keep it affordable, the app itself is free of charge; it is a download for your iphone, android, ipad, laptop, etc and brings me to you as your own personal, online coach, in teaching you the art of building a new neural pathway to mental freedom from victim consciousness.

Find out more about NeuroCue, a phone app designed to foster the development of new neural pathways, who I have partnered with to be able to bring to you a complete program for building your new neural pathway to peace, using the principles of Reality presented in the Reality Formula™ combined with the latest research in Neuroscience to help you accomplish a new default for peace in just 66 days (which is the time neuroscience says it takes to put a new neural pathway in action)!

(A hard-hitting summary, written by Jesse Robbins, Creator of Neurocue, that tells us like it is about why principles of Truth – no matter how well written, expressed, or presented – are difficult, if not impossible, to assimilate. A must read for those who are serious about personal transformation! Lynne)

Any good workshop, book, or training program will leave you feeling empowered… excited… optimistic…

Right?

This is simply just your brain’s ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters making you feel this way.

But what happens after a few weeks?

You know the answer to that, don’t you?

Just like a beer buzz or the exhilaration of a brand new romance …

It’s going to wear off.

… just give it some time.

Your brain will stop churning out those “feel-good” chemicals.

Just like every other book, seminar or training…

…the ideas and principles will slowly start to slip from your mind…

…and with them all of those feel good neurotransmitters are gone as quick as they arrived.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade…

… or be a “Debbie Downer”.

But, instinctively, you know this to be true.

Case in point… what about the last self-help book you read or seminar you attended?

How much of the information did you internalize so deeply that you ACTUALLY INTEGRATED and TRANSMUTED ALL OF THE KEY PRINCIPLES into tangible “real-world” actions and results?

If you’re like everyone else… VERY LITTLE.

Probably none.

Sorry to be so blunt.

No matter how strong your intention, the information slowly slips from your mind like a leaky bucket full of water.

Here’s why…

Our conditioned patterns are trumping our desired results.

Every January first, millions of people resolve to do something differently.

Eventually, often gradually and even unconsciously, most people forgo their long-term goals in favor of a short-term temptation.

We work our way back to our “normal.”

The normal that got you where you were when you resolved you didn’t want to be there.

What we need is a natural inclination to choose well.

What we typically have is a whole lot of bad habits and wavering will power.

Think about your conscious and subconscious brain…

With your conscious brain you can think.

You can make decisions.

You can use your imagination.

But while you are doing all of this, your unconscious mind is processing billions of bits of information…

…creating 10 trillion new cells every second.

It’s keeping your DNA together.

It’s digesting your food.

It’s circulating your blood.

Pumping air through your lungs…

…and sending the oxygen throughout your circulatory system…

Without you even HAVING TO THINK ABOUT IT.

So when you align your vision with new beliefs and empowering emotions…

…and you learn how to master the emotions of doubt, fear, uncertainty and anxiety…

…by recognizing that something in your brain has released that chemical messenger into your blood stream and the emotion (energy in motion), which we refer to as a feeling.

For the most part, the feelings of inadequacy that goes with believing, “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not smart enough,” “I don’t know how to do it,” “I can’t get the money,” is nothing more than your old emotional patterns, based on feeling memories from your past, bringing themselves to the forefront … causing your brain to see things that match those past experiences instead of what’s possible.

HOW YOUR BRAIN’S RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM (RAS) IS SCREWING YOU:

Your RAS plays a vital part in your ability to achieve goals.

What is this RAS?

The Reticular Activating System sits in your brain and acts as a customizable filter which adapts to different type of situation and reacts instantly.

Imagine that you’re walking through a busy, noisy airport.

Think of all the noise…

…hundreds of people talking…

…music

…announcements

…luggage carriers

… screaming babies

How much of this noise is brought to your attention?

Not a lot.

True, you can hear a general background noise…

but not many of us bother to listen to each individual sound.

But then a new announcement comes over the public address system – saying your name or maybe your flight.

Your reticular activating system is a filter between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.

It takes instructions from your conscious mind and passes them on to your subconscious.

For example, the instruction might be, “listen out for anyone saying my name.”

HERE’S WHY YOUR RAS WILL TRIP YOU UP:

Just for the love of metaphor, the RAS can be seen as a bouncer at the door of your mind.

Your beliefs tell the RAS what is or what is not important, chiefly making a list of all the information invited to the party…

…and your RAS then acts like the club bouncer letting whoever is on the list in and kicking the rest to the curb.

Of those millions of bits of information I mentioned earlier…

…your RAS only lets in around 130 pieces of those ‘info-bites’ per second into your conscious mind.

That’s because your central nervous system can only process a certain amount of information at one time, and the details you let in are the ones that you have deemed over the years to be important enough for yourself.

Your brain is an incredibly complex organ.

Up until the last decade science believed that our brains neurons and its neuronal pathways were set in stone once we became a child….

….that the brain we were born with will be the brain that we die with.

We now know that this is not true.

The brain is constantly changing, both physically and functionally based on repeated thinking, feeling, and acting (behavior).

It’s been called “the greatest medical discovery in the last 400 years.”

“It’s simple in concept. The brain changes physically, functionally, and chemically, as you acquire a new ability or as you improve an old skill. You know this instinctively. Something must be changing as your brain advances, as it progresses.

Actually what the brain is doing is changing the local wiring, including the details of how it’s connected. It’s also changing itself in other ways – physically, functionally – which create changes for improvement, and account for the acquisition of a new ability.

You don’t realize it but as you acquire an ability – let’s say, the ability to read – you actually create a system in the brain that does not exist, or that’s not in place, in the nonreader. It [the ability] actually evolves in the brain.” – Dr. Merzenich

Here’s the bad news…

You have a ‘system’ in your brain that makes Victim Consciousness your default way of being.

Here’s why we fail…

We use our imprinted information from previous experiences (memories) as the basis for our response to the current situation.

One byproduct of this process is that there is significant response inertia associated with our brain’s previously stored information.

This inertia creates automatic, unconscious and reactionary behavior…

It happens before we even have a chance to think about it.

It’s on automatic pilot.

As a result, behavior change requires that new patterns be imprinted with enough strength to override the existing input/response loop to allow the new pattern to take root.

Essentially, to stop doing one thing, you have to replace it with something else.

There are two ways that new behavior patterns can be successfully imprinted: via stress and/or repetition.

The early stages of stress involve complex neuro-chemical processes that literally strengthen the neurological imprint chemically.

It is important to mention that stress can be eu-stress (positive, such as making the winning touchdown in a football game) or di-stress, which is the more commonly imprinted version.

The second factor involves repetition.

Many children learn to read and do arithmetic via flash cards, a simple and effective form of repetitive learning and reinforcement.

Repetition is all around us.

Unfortunately, the repetition is directed at us from the outside for benefit of others as opposed to being controlled by us for our own benefit.

During the early stages of public education the goals tend to focus on reading, writing and simple mathematics.

Much of the knowledge transfer is done using routine memorization and high levels of repetition (i.e. flash cards).

As students’ progress to more complex topics, however, the amount of repetition decreases.

This explains why most graduates can read, write and balance their checkbook but have trouble remembering who the 17thpresident of the USA was.

If you’re like me, I’d bet the farm that you have developed some heavily fortified Victim Triangle neural networks that have been not only repeated, but have been fertilized with heavy doses of emotion (distress), right?

You’re probably really good at it…

…so good that you do it without even thinking about it.

On auto-pilot.

Here’s the solution:

The ability to remember how to perform basic skills that we have learned earlier in life do not ordinarily rise to the level of consciousness.

You remember how to do a ton of things that you earlier learned to do on automatic pilot, such as using a spoon, driving a car, or tying your shoes.

As our skills reach a level of mastery one by one, for an increasingly greater part of each day, we come to be users of what eventually become automated abilities.

Once any particular skill or ability advances to what we judge to be an acceptable performance level, we naturally begin applying it on automatic pilot.

To better understand how we evolve from learner to automaton, consider the skill of typing.

Many people learn to type at some point during their youth.

They might work very hard to achieve proficiency.

However, at some point, typing is judged by the brain to be acceptably “mastered,” and most people stop working at getting better at it.

They become users – not attentive learners – of a skill that has reached a level of practical utility.

When a child learns to play the piano for the first time, he ends up using his whole upper body – wrist, arm, shoulder – to play each note.

Even the facial muscles tighten and grimace.

He is clumsy with his performance.

With practice though, the budding pianist stops using irrelevant muscles and soon uses only the correct finger to play the note.

He develops a “lighter touch” and if he becomes skillful, he develops “grace” and relaxes when he plays.

This is because the child goes from using a massive number of neurons to an appropriate few that are well matched for the task.

This more efficient use of neurons occurs when we become proficient at a skill. As neurons are trained, they become much faster.

Going through training sessions a large number of times (we call this practice), initiates changes in millions or even billions of nerve cell to nerve cell connections, and your brain has created a “master controller” that can implement this or any other practiced behavior with astounding facility and reliability.

The more you hear about or are exposed to something, and the more things that you hear or see that are related to, the more likely you are remember it. (You RAS in action)

A few years ago I set out to solve these problems and in the process make it infinitely easier for people to integrate new ways of thinking, feeling and acting in to their brains neural circuitry….

It’s our neocortex, the front brain, where our thoughts are thought. From there they send electrical impulses to the Limbic or mid-brain, where they are translated into feelings that motivate our behavior and reactions. In other words our feelings and reactions come from the thoughts we attach to (believe). Just like the Reality Formula, based on ancient laws of Reality, has been telling us all along!

Reality Formula: When we believe a thought, we automatically feel and act as if what we believe is true … and when we react to others as if we believe what we think, we will act in ways that invite them to give us the very evidence we unconsciously seek that proves us right.”

It’s the hypothalamus that monitors the glandular secretions towards maintaining balance in the body hormonal system. It sends neuropeptides to the various glands in the body (depending on the state of consciousness that the quality of our thoughts is creating within us), signaling them to release the hormones that are needed to balance out the physical system.

For instance, if we are stuck in an old thought pattern of scarcity and fear for our survival, the hypothalamus sends a signal to our adrenals to release cortisol and other hormones, which immediately sets up an inner state of fight or flight.

But here’s where it gets REALLY interesting … we actually get ADDICTED to the state of being brought on by the hormonal release, or we could say, we get addicted to the glandular SUBSTANCES being released. So if we start “coming down” from our hormonal high, the body goes into cortisol withdrawal and we automatically pick up the old thinking that triggers the fight or flight hormones we need to reach the levels we are habituated to living with. In the same way we need our morning java to kick-start our day, we “jones for” the fight or flight hormones to get us through.

From thinking (neocortex) to feeling to acting (limbic) to releasing stress hormones(hypothalamus) in an effort to treat, balance, or control our inner state of being, our thought loop becomes a patterned response, or neural pathway in the brain. Simply defined, a neural pathway is created when we repetitively think the same old thoughts that cause us to feel the same old feelings, and act in the same old ways – over and over again.

Although we can’t get rid of these chronic neural loops, we CAN cultivate new neural pathways to override the old. We do this by cultivating our Observer Consciousness, described in the Reality Formula, as the ability to witness our thoughts without judgment for the purpose of refining and reframing old thoughts into higher ways of seeing our life situations.

If you want to learn more about building new neural pathways to peace, check out the NeuroCue phone app. that offers my own Reality Formula as a software program!

Jesse uses leading edge technology in creating this first of its kind totally innovative product!

NeuroCue is now ready and TODAY (Feb. 11, 2015) unveiled the only phone app of it’s kind, designed to teach you not only how to build new neural pathway to peace, but doing so through an offering of a variety of programs, like mine, that will help you build a mind that thinks in possibilities beyond what our old mind is capable of imagining.

Suddenly Reality becomes the way life works FOR us, rather than that which we must tolerate. Which brings me to Reality Formula™ – my own offering on NeuroCue.

What is the Real­ity Formula™?

The Real­ity For­mula provides us with both the under­stand­ing of how vic­tim con­scious­ness works, AND the anti­dote for it.

In simplest form, the Reality Formula reminds us of the following never-changing principle, which in Metaphysics is called the “law of mentalism.” This law sums up the nature of Reality and explains in a very simple, eloquent way how to use the principles of Reality (i.e. guiding principles) to work for us, instead of against us, as most of us have been doing our whole lives!
